A five-day cultural walking safari through the highlands and Rift Valley of northern Tanzania. We walk between villages, stay in community-owned camps and homesteads, and meet the Maasai, Iraqw, and Datoga people on their own terms. This is not a tour of staged cultural performances - it is a real immersion in rural Tanzanian life, with community-led activities and fair compensation for the families and villages you visit.
9-Day Western Serengeti & Grumeti Reserve · Private Camps
Most visitors to the Serengeti stick to the central Seronera area. They are missing the western Serengeti and the Grumeti Reserve - a wilder, quieter, less-visited corner of the park, with enormous prides of lions, the rare African wild dog, and (during the migration) the dramatic Grumeti River crossings. This nine-day fly-in safari includes a mobile camp that follows the herds, plus time in the central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
1-Day Arusha National Park Day Trip
Most visitors drive past Arusha National Park on their way to the Northern Circuit. They are missing one of Tanzania's most rewarding day trips. The park is home to giraffes, zebras, warthogs, buffalo, and four species of colobus monkey. We can add a canoeing excursion on Momella Lake (with hippos and flamingos), a forest walk to a waterfall, and a climb to Mount Meru's lower slopes for views of Kilimanjaro.
5-Day Mount Meru + Manyara/Ngorongoro Combo
The perfect combination of mountain trek and safari. Five days that start with a four-day summit of Mount Meru (4,566m) - Tanzania's second-highest peak, and the perfect acclimatization climb - and finish with a two-day safari in Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Ideal for travelers who want a taste of both worlds.

The ultimate Kilimanjaro + safari combination. Eight days to summit Kilimanjaro via the scenic Lemosho Route, then four days of safari in Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Designed for travelers who want the full Tanzania experience - the climb of a lifetime, followed by the world's most celebrated safari.
9-Day Kilimanjaro Climb · Northern Circuit Route
The Northern Circuit is the longest and quietest route on Kilimanjaro, with the highest summit success rate of any route - over 95% with proper acclimatization. Starting from the Londorossi Gate on the western side, the route circles the northern slopes of the mountain before joining the southern circuit for the final approach. The nine-day itinerary provides the best acclimatization profile of any route, and the trail is virtually empty compared to the more popular Machame.
7-Day Zanzibar Honeymoon Beach Escape
Zanzibar is the perfect honeymoon destination - turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, a fascinating history, and some of the best seafood on the East African coast. This seven-day escape is designed specifically for couples, with private dining, sunset dhow cruises, couples spa treatments, and a beachfront resort picked for its privacy and beauty. Add it to any safari for the perfect East African honeymoon.
8-Day Tanzania Photography Safari
A photography-first safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with a specialist photography guide, a custom 4x4 with beanbag mounts, and off-road driving permits for the best positions. Designed for serious photographers who want more than the standard 'stop, snap, move' approach. Includes pre-trip consultation, daily image review sessions, and dedicated time at golden hour.
7-Day Tanzania Birding Safari
Tanzania is one of Africa's premier birding destinations, with over 1,100 recorded species - more than almost any other country on the continent. This seven-day safari is designed for serious birders, with a specialist guide who knows where to find the endemics (like the Pemba Sunbird and the Usambara Weaver), the migrants (over 200 Palearctic species visit in the northern winter), and the rare ones (like the Sokoke Scops Owl).
6-Day Walking & Bush Safari
Most safaris are spent in a 4x4. This one is different. Six days, with three days on foot - walking through Tarangire's baobab-studded landscapes, along the shores of Lake Manyara, and into the forests of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Always with an armed ranger, always with an expert guide. Game drives on the remaining days to round out the experience.
6-Day Budget Northern Tanzania Camping Safari
A six-day budget safari through the heart of northern Tanzania, with comfortable camping in designated campsites inside the parks. The same wildlife, the same iconic parks, at a fraction of the price. Ideal for adventurous travelers, backpackers, and anyone who wants the real safari experience without the luxury price tag.
5-Day Tarangire & Ngorongoro · Lodge Safari
A five-day mid-range safari through three of northern Tanzania's most rewarding parks. Tarangire's elephant herds, the Ngorongoro Crater's Big Five, and Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions - all in a well-paced itinerary that maximizes game time without rushing. Quality mid-range lodges throughout, private vehicle and guide.
10-Day Northern Circuit Classic · Lodge Safari
A ten-day safari through every iconic park in northern Tanzania, with a slower pace that lets you experience the bush at dawn and dusk. Includes Tarangire's elephant herds, Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions, the Ngorongoro Crater, and four nights in the Serengeti. Ideal for first-time visitors who want the full Tanzania experience without rushing.
10-Day Honeymoon Safari + Zanzibar Escape
Ten days that begin with a private safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and end with a week of barefoot luxury on Zanzibar's white-sand coast. We have designed every detail for couples: private vehicles, romantic lodge suites, candle-lit bush dinners, sunset dhow cruises, and a Zanzibar beach resort picked for its privacy and beauty. The honeymoon package includes welcome champagne, private dining, and a couples spa treatment in Zanzibar.
4-Day Mount Meru Trek
Mount Meru is Kilimanjaro's little sister - a spectacular volcanic peak in Arusha National Park, often overlooked in favor of its famous neighbor. We think that is a mistake. Meru is beautiful, uncrowded, and a brilliant acclimatization climb for anyone planning to summit Kilimanjaro afterwards. The 4-day trek reaches the summit at Socialist Peak (4,566m) via a dramatic knife-edge ridge, with wildlife-rich lower slopes and spectacular views of Kilimanjaro from the top.
7-Day Kilimanjaro Climb · Rongai Route
Rongai is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the northern border. It is the quietest route on the mountain, with gentler gradients and a drier climate. The trade-off is that the scenery is less dramatic than Machame or Lemosho, but the lower traffic makes it ideal for those who want solitude. The seven-day itinerary includes proper acclimatization at Mawenzi Tarn.
6-Day Kilimanjaro Climb · Marangu Route
Marangu is the oldest and most established route on Kilimanjaro. It is the only route with hut accommodation (rather than tents), which makes it a popular choice for those who want a slightly more comfortable climb. The profile is gentler than Machame or Lemosho, but the shorter itinerary means acclimatization is less forgiving. Ideal for first-time trekkers who prefer a roof over their head.
7-Day Kilimanjaro Climb · Machame Route
Machame is the most popular Kilimanjaro route and for good reason: it is incredibly scenic, traverses five distinct climate zones, and offers excellent acclimatization on the 'climb high, sleep low' principle. Seven days gives your body time to adjust, which is the single biggest factor in summit success. The route is steep in places, but the scenery is unmatched: rainforest, moorland, the Shira Plateau, the Barranco Wall, and the glaciated summit.
8-Day Kilimanjaro Climb · Lemosho Route
Lemosho is widely considered the finest route on Kilimanjaro. Starting from the Londorossi Gate on the western side, it traverses the remote Shira Plateau, joins the Machame route, and uses the southern circuit for the final approach - giving climbers the best acclimatization profile of any route. Eight days is the optimum duration for summit success. The scenery is unmatched: rainforest, moorland, the lunar Shira Plateau, the Barranco Wall, and the glaciated summit.
3-Day Tarangire & Lake Manyara · Lodge Safari
This three-day safari is the perfect first taste of Tanzania, or a great add-on to a Kilimanjaro climb. Tarangire and Lake Manyara are two of the most underrated parks in the Northern Circuit - both close to Arusha, both with rich wildlife, and both easily combined in a long weekend. Ideal as a stopover or as a first safari before committing to a longer trip.
5-Day Zanzibar Beach Escape
Zanzibar is the perfect ending to a Tanzania safari - turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, a fascinating history, and some of the best seafood on the East African coast. This five-day escape combines beach time with cultural experiences: a private Stone Town walking tour, a visit to a working spice farm, and a sunset dhow cruise with champagne. Perfect as a standalone beach holiday or as an add-on to any safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
6-Day Family Safari · Lodge Adventure
Traveling to Tanzania with kids feels daunting, but it should not be. This six-day itinerary is built around families: short driving days, comfortable mid-range lodges with family rooms, engaging activities for children (Maasai lessons, nature walks, junior ranger programs), and safari drives timed for the moments kids love most. Suitable for children aged 5 and up.
1-Day Tanzania Safari Day Trips from Arusha
Do not have time for a full safari? Our day trips are the next best thing. Choose from Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Arusha National Park, Materuni Waterfalls, or a Marangu cultural tour - all depart from and return to Arusha or Moshi in a single day. Private vehicle, professional guide, and all park fees included.
4-Day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Big Five · Lodge Safari
If you have limited time but still want a proper Tanzanian safari, this is the one. Four days, two parks, and the best chance of ticking off the Big Five. The Ngorongoro Crater is the only place in Tanzania where you can realistically see all five in a single day, and Tarangire adds elephants, baobabs, and a different ecosystem. Ideal as a stopover, an add-on to a Kilimanjaro climb, or a first taste of East Africa.
7-Day Cultural Tanzania: Maasai, Hadzabe & Local Life
Tanzania is more than wildlife. It is 120+ ethnic groups, each with their own language, food, music, and traditions. This seven-day itinerary takes you beyond the safari vehicles to meet the people who make this country what it is - the Maasai of the Rift Valley, the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers of Lake Eyasi, and the Iraqw farmers of Karatu. Community-led, fairly compensated, and designed to be respectful to the people you visit.
8-Day Mara River Crossings · Two Days at the River (Fly-In)
Between July and October, more than a million wildebeest make the perilous Mara River crossing in the northern Serengeti - a wildlife spectacle so dramatic it has been called the Greatest Show on Earth. This safari puts you on the riverbank at the right time, in a mobile camp that follows the action, with off-road driving permits and a guide who knows the crossing points intimately.
6-Day Mara River Crossing & Ngorongoro Crater Safari
Witness the legendary Great Migration and the thrilling Mara River crossings in a condensed six-day itinerary. Positioned in the Northern Serengeti during the peak crossing season (July to October), this safari maximizes your time at the riverbanks before concluding with a classic Ngorongoro Crater floor game drive.
7-Day Ndutu Calving Season · Lodge Safari
Every year between January and March, the southern Serengeti and Ndutu Plains host one of nature's greatest spectacles: the calving of the wildebeest migration. Around 500,000 wildebeest calves are born in just six weeks, attracting predators in extraordinary concentrations. This seven-day safari positions you in the heart of the action, with off-road driving permits for the best photographic positions and stays inside the ecosystem.
6-Day Great Migration: Ndutu Calving & Central Serengeti
A six-day safari balancing the wildlife spectacle of calving wildebeest on the southern Ndutu Plains with the resident big cats of the Central Serengeti. Observe the massive herds, follow predators on off-road drives, and descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater.
5-Day Ndutu Calving & Ngorongoro Crater Safari
Designed for travelers who want to witness the calving season on a condensed timeline, this five-day safari brings you straight to the southern Serengeti and Ndutu Plains. From January to March, watch the birthing of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves and the predator action it triggers, finishing with a classic Ngorongoro Crater floor safari.
8-Day Great Migration: Ndutu Calving & Serengeti Explorer
Our most comprehensive calving migration safari. Spend three full nights on the Ndutu Plains at the height of the green season, followed by two nights in the Central Serengeti to track resident predators, ending with the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater floor. Designed for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts who want maximum time in the field.
7-Day Signature Northern Circuit · Lodge Safari
Seven days through Tanzania's most iconic parks, from ancient baobabs and elephant herds in Tarangire to the endless plains of the Serengeti, down into the Ngorongoro Crater, and finishing at the flamingo-fringed shores of Lake Manyara. This is the safari most first-time visitors to Tanzania dream of, paced with full days rather than rushed drives, with stays inside the parks so you can experience the bush at dawn and dusk.
